The Mating Ball

Chapter seven: the Aftermath: the reunion

Seven years later

Hermione Weasley was walking to the Hogwarts Reunion with her husband Ron and her three children. There were the twins Ginny and Harry. They were six years old. Ginny had pale blond, bushy hair, while Harry had sleek brown hair. Her other girl Molly was now three years old and had lots of bushy red hair. Why exactly was she going to this reunion anyway. Was it because she wanted to see Draco again. Was it because she wanted to confront Draco with his two children, or did she still love Draco?

Ron walked silently next to Hermione. This time he was surely going to kill Malfoy. Here he was raising Malfoys kids as if it were his own. True Ginny and Harry were wonderful kids, but still... they WERE Malfoys kids. They got to the door of the house aand Ginny rang the bell.

Luna Potter opened the door.

"Hello, Hermione, Ron. Come in. And how are my three little angels doing?"

"Fine, aunt Luna," screamed the three children and ran through the hall.

"Hi Luna!" said Hermione, " and how is your pregnancy going? How's Harry under it?"

'Oh, very well," said Luna, "I'm due in about a month. Harry is very protective of me these days. But I can hardly blame him. It will be his first child."

"The others are already here. Only Ginny and Neville Longbottom are still to come," continued Luna.

As Hermione and Ron entered the livingroom they were talked hailed by several people, including Harry Potter himself.

"Hi, Ron. Hermione," said Harry, "it's nice to see you again. I've been so busy lately, with work and Luna. But there is nothing so good as talking with some old friends."

Suddenly Hermione and Ron realised that some people had their eye on them. They turned and looked around and saw Draco and Pansy Malfoy with their children Bella (6), Lucius (4) and Thomas (2). Lucius and Thomas both had sleek dark hair, but Bella had bright red hair and a lot of freckles. Ron had turned pale as he looked upon his daughter.

"Hello Draco, Pansy," Hermione said. The Malfoys nodded.

"Ginny, little Harry, Molly, will you come here for a second?" yelled Ron.

Ron loved the look of horror on Malfoys face as he saw little Ginny and little Harry.

"This is little Ginny," Ron said pointing at his eldest daughter. "and this is little Harry. My youngest daughter is called Molly."

Children these people are the Malfoy family with their children Bella, Lucius and Thomas.

"Why has the girl got your hair, daddy?" asked Ginny.

"Er..." said Ron, turning red.

"Yes, daddy," asked Bella, "why do I have his hair and do those twins have your hair?"

It was now Malfoys turn to blush with no answer ready.

"It's a long story, children. And we will tell you when you get older," said Hermione.

"Amen," said Malfoy with a sigh of relief.

At that moment Ginny and Neville Longbottom walked in with their baby girl: Alice.

"Sorry, that we're so late. I had to breastfeed Alice before we left home," said Ginny smiling.

Neville looked proudly at his wife and his beautiful daughter. But then he saw the family of his wife standing with the Malfoy's. He nudged his wife in the ribs and pointed at the two families.

When they got to the two families. Ginny kissed her brother and sister-in-law on the cheek.

"Well, is this the result of a certain Ball about seven years ago?" asked Ginny curtly.

"Ehm... yes," said all four adults, looking at the floor.

"I see," said Ginny, "I only hope that you will work this out as adults, and not as some crazy teenager who cannot listen to anything else than primal instincts, without thinking of the consequences such an event can have."

"Come, lets see Harry, darling!" said Neville.

Leaving the others to sort things out for themselves.
